TBE to close for September
Tarpon Bay Explorers on Sanibel will be closed during the month of September.
Concession for the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, it will reopen on Oct. 2.
“September is generally a very slow time for us and the island in general during a normal year,” managing partner Wendy Schnapp said. “A majority of hotels, condos and resorts are still recovering so, we anticipate demand will be lower than usual and justifies a temporary closure until we begin to see snowbirds return and the holidays near.”
The entire Tarpon Bay recreational area will be closed to the public during the closure, including the ramp. Launching will be open and available along Wildlife Drive at the refuge, except on Fridays.
TBE and its nature-themed gift shop are currently open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the last rentals at 3 p.m.

TBE is at 900 Tarpon Bay Road, Sanibel.
